    Mac or PC?

    We used Virtual PC with a Windows operating system loaded on it to use our Access database. It worked great, although a tad slower than a real PC.

    Image Trace in Illustrator 6

    There are a bunch of different settings on the image trace so maybe the auto settings just aren't working for your image. Try playing around with the custom settings to see if you can get what you need. After you trace something I believe you still have to expand it to get all the paths to...

    How does everyone proof?

    So after reading this thread I did some thinking and brainstorming with my IT guy. We decided to skip the software and dedicate a partition on our ftp site. Our new procedure will be to include a direct link to a proof placed on our ftp site so it will show up in a customer's browser when...

    How does everyone proof?

    We proof via email and cc the CSRs. However, I have my email set up to only send attachments to the main recipients. All the CSRs and salespeople have read-only access to my art folders and can view the pdfs there. It saves on email storage.

Adobe has no competition to Photoshop and Illustrator and no motivation to innovate anymore. Designing folding cartons in InDesign is a complete joke. It's really nice that they finally...

    Do you ask your customer???

    We have an offset and screen print press and I will make the decision based on what the art looks like. I will inform the customer of their choice if it is a tossup or if they need to make a choice between quality and color. I do prefer not to open that can of worms though since many times...

    InDesign - Convert type to outlines - Underlines/Strike-Though Disappears?

    Have you tried exporting as a high res pdf and placing that in Illustrator? Once you have placed (as a link) the pdf in Illustrator you can go Object > Flatten Transparency. The window that comes up has a few settings you can play with but it also has a little check box to convert all text to...

    Quark Memorial Service

    I was done with Quark when I upgraded to 7.xxx and could no longer print to our Konica 6500. Haven't regretted it yet.

    Postal Software

    We use BCC software as well for our mailings. It works well. There was a big learning curve for me though, coming from design programs.
